\nMy heart will not keep her warm
\nNor will it keep her dry
\nBut in my heart shell have a home
\nUntil she or I die
\nMy love is pure though not expressed
\nAs sometimes such love should not be
\nFor though I dreamed in my heart I knew
\nShe liked but loved not me…<\/p>\n
An angel over her watches
\nAnd keeps her from harm
\nAt least I hope there does
\nTo guide her by the arm
\nFor a flower such as she
\nShould have ground good to grow
\nIn the jungle that is life
\nWhere ever she may go…<\/p>\n
Tears for her I shed not
\nFor cry a man should not do,
\nA love never had is never lost
\nA truth at all times by me knew.
\nPerhaps of my love she never guessed
\nAnd may never in life know
\nPerhaps I’ll tell her when aged we die
\nIf us both to heaven go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
